I hope the peaceniks now have the good grace to shut the hell up.

I hope someone, someday soon, will take Robert Fisk out to this place. Let him read the files and look at the pictures and the bones. Maybe he'll have a bit of a think, but not too long before he starts back up bitching about the West.

Don't even get your hopes up about making leftists see the light. Remember Chomsky, who swore up and down that the killing fields of Cambodia were a CIA-fabricated lie. When he could no longer maintain that belief, he simply switched to believing that the American presence created the situation, the murders were because of us. If we'd stayed away from their argrarian paradise and not interfered in the workers' utopia, they'd have never "had" to kill all those peasants.

I know other leftie profs who have the same mindset. Anything that the Ba'ath regime did after Gulf War 1 will be blamed on the sanctions, you wait and see. Indeed, I have sat in on university lectures wherein professor emeritus types have said that we should have let the Socialist Ba'ath party have Kuwait and Saudi Arabia too. That we had no right to interfere, that we "prop up" monarchies and interfere with socialist paradises in the making.

And why do we do it? Why, don't you know? It's all about oil. I don't even bother talking with these people anymore. They are truly nuts and obsessed with Marxism.
